FairyGothMother Full Description
Visit FairyGothMother in our London studio for inspired wedding dress designs and authentic steel boned corsets. From retro 1950's style wedding dresses, tea length short wedding dress styles to formal corset two pieces, we have just the styles for you. We can offer you bridal, bridesmaids, evening wear and prom. From classic ivory Audrey Hepburn style Fifties satin dresses to alternative bright red Grace Kelly lace style short wedding dresses, we can help. We believe you shouldn't be looking for your dress more than 15 months before your wedding, and ideally you should be looking and ordering your dress between 12 and 9 months before the wedding. Look too early and by the time you want to order the dress it may have been discontinued. Leave it too late, and you'll find you may not be able to have the dress made in time. Most dress designers take 5-6 months to make a dress, and you should always allow time for alterations/amendments. We have a handy planning tool for you on our website, that shows when we think you should ideally be looking and ordering your dress. You simply select or type in your wedding date and it will produce a planned timescale for you. See our Resources for You web page in our website's Information menu... https://www.fairygothmother.co.uk/pages/finding-and-ordering-your-dress PLEASE NOTE: Our reviews and testimonials are not in chronological order, so you will find newer reviews and testimonials not always displayed at the top. Our apologies for this but it is an issue in Bridebook's displaying of these, which is out of our control.

My very own fairytale experience

When you first walk into the shop I was greeted warmly and welcomed into their space. The shop was extremely clean and tidy. Emma and Ruth were diamonds and there were lots of dresses to chose from in all different styles from white, to green to black!! The whole process of trying dresses on and ultimately buying my very own gown from here was a real magical experience I got to share with my Mum and I wish I could do it all over again!!!

I couldn’t have been happier!

From my first contact, I loved everything about the experience of buying my wedding dress with FairyGothMother. My dress was absolutely perfect for our wedding at the Hard Rock Cafe in Orlando and everyone commented on how beautiful it was. I felt like a princess and it was everything I wished and hoped for. Thank you! 🥰

I couldn’t have imaged a better dress

Ever since the very first wedding dress picture that I saw and like turned out to be from Fairy Goth Mother, I knew I wanted to go there to find my dress. I loved everything about the concepts and styles they had and the hardest part was trying to narrow down options to try! I had thought I was going to end up with a tea length dress, and there were so many fabulous options, but ended up with my wonderful full length gown. It was a wild card chosen by one of my bridesmaids and couldn’t have loved it more. All the cliches were true, when you find the right one you just know it! Everyone there was so friendly, helpful and full of great advice. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to pick my dress from. Thank you!

Outstanding!

This is the first and last place I looked for my dream dress! The team were very helpful - particularly Ruth - and I walked out an hour after arriving a very happy customer! Thanks for all your help! Ps. Our wedding is not until November but there’s no option to add a future date :)

Where did YOU go?

18 years ago, I ordered goth apparell from you. Beautifully tailored one of a kind plastic dresses. My favorite was a stream line perfect black and chrome, black on one side, chrome on the other, zip up dress with five buckle straps across the front. It was shoulderless but with an emperical neck line, above thigh length, tight fitting and fit me like a glove. I played bass in a goth punk band and this was my favorite garb. Where did you go? Did somebody buy you out? you are certainly not the same. to my disappointment. Where could I possibly go now to find such one of a kind tailored unique attire?

Perfect dress perfect day

I ended up with the first dress I tried on and it was absolutely perfect. It fit my style and the style our wedding and was everything I wanted. I felt comfortable and gorgeous all day. The entire process was so chilled and relaxed, none of that heititeiti nonsense which worked ever so well. Basically a long winded way of saying thank you so much!

Just what I wanted.

I wanted a tea length wedding dress, a little different to the norm. I had been following Fairy Gothmother for a long time before getting married had even been mentioned and thought I knew exactly which dress I would buy when the date was decided. I had dismissed the dress I settled on as the photo on the website did not do it justice. I did not realise that the dress on the website had been changed by Fairy Gothmother to have a corset it in, it was a game changer, completely changed the way the dress fitted. It’s a shame it will only be worn once 😍

Amazing day, amazing dress!

Emma at Fairy Goth Mother couldn’t have been more amazing! The whole process of buying my dress was made so easy (and not scary!). There is a huge selection of dresses and I absolutely adored mine- can’t thank you enough!

Wonderful dresses and Fabulous service

Cannot recommend Fairy Gothmother highly enough. From starting by email contact through to appointment the customer service was exceptional. With a great eye for dealing with my body shape & size I got my beautiful dress with minimal stress. We had a totally perfect day and everyone complimented the dress. I’ll be recommending them to everyone I can :)

What about your business are you most proud of?

Our Staff, who get great plaudits for their assistance from our Brides week in, week out.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

If you can, PLAN WELL AHEAD. Dresses can take 5-6 months to be made once you find the one you like, And always add at least a month to that for adjustments after the dress is made. Don't leave choosing and ordering your dress too late. Some designers will make a dress quickly (3-4 months) for an extra charge but the norm is 5-6 months from order date to be ready. Ideally, you should allow yourself at least 7 months before the wedding to look and order your dress, and this allows for any changes once the dress is made. Leaving it late can be stressful. Look too early, and the dress you fall in love with may no longer be available by the time you decide to order. We'd recommend yo start looking 12 to 9 months out from the wedding. This gives you time to decide on your dress, and order. If your wedding plans are last minute, and occasionally it happens, ask if their are any sample sale dresses you can buy immediately. You won't have a full choice of dresses but you may well get a nice dress and a real bargain.
